The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has honoured 16 outstanding stakeholders for their commitment and contribution to the Social Security Scheme.

The recognition took place at the 2025 SSNIT Stakeholder Awards, held last month at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra. The awardees included employers, self-employed contributors, pensioners and partner organisations.

Established in 2019, the SSNIT Stakeholder Awards Scheme recognises stakeholders whose compliance, consistency and partnership have contributed to the sustainability and growth of the Social Security Scheme.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Deputy Director-General of SSNIT, in charge of Operations and Benefits, Mr. Adam Sulley, reaffirmed the Trust's efforts to creating greater value for members through innovation and improved service delivery.

“We remain committed to our members by making our services more accessible, responsive and convenient,” Mr. Sulley said.

He highlighted recent initiatives by the Trust, including the Virtual Branch, Membership Value Programme (MVP), Co-location with partner banks and the Telehealth Service, which are aimed at improving access to SSNIT services and enhancing the experience of members. He added that the Trust was strengthening its service-led approach and leveraging data to improve its operations and service delivery.

The General Manager, Operations, Philip Kofi Senyah, described the awards as an opportunity to recognise stakeholders whose contributions continued to strengthen the Social Security Scheme. He stressed that the sustainability of the Scheme depended on the collective commitment and continued collaboration of all stakeholders.
